Since nothing seemed to be happening here (hope I'm not stepping on any
toes), I decided to start porting the loader. I now have the thing at the
stage where it initialises the console and memory allocator and actually
reaches the 'ok' prompt. Can't do much else with it yet though :-).

If anyone is interested, I can send the source. I can't commit it just yet
since I'm using some Intel header files and I'm waiting for clarification
on the license for them.

I suppose I'll have to buy an LS120 drive next since that seems to be the
only way of getting information onto the beast. Fortunately the loader
fits easily on a normal floppy.
